Get a zoo pass. It is definitely worth it if you live in the general vicinity. It makes it a lot more palatable than the 20 dollar admission fee per adult. It is also nice to have because sometimes, parking is absolutely impossible, and you're forced to leave without visiting. Aside from the occasional parking fiasco, this is a nice and shady zoo. They also have St Arnold's beer, which I cannot fault.
